Abstract: Based on Zygmunt Bauman’s understanding of Allosemitism, this article introduces the concept of Allozionism, a form of exceptionalism which assumes that Zionism and the State of Israel are fundamentally different from all other nationalist movements and nation-states.

Abstract: The Cherokee Phoenix, the first indigenous-produced newspaper in the United States, adopted pro-assimilation rhetoric to argue against westward removal of indigenous people.
